Outline of Final Research Achievements

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) could detect significantly smaller metastatic lymph nodes than by PET-CT. It was a reason why DWI presented a significantly higher accuracy than that of PET-CT. DWI had more potential than PET-CT in assessing pulmonary lesions. For recurrence or metastasis from lung cancer, the detection rate of DWI was significantly higher than that of CT, but not significantly higher than that of PET-CT. For mediastinal tumors, the sensitivity (100%) of DWI is not significantly higher than that (93.8%) of PET-CT, the specificity (83.3%) of DWI was not significantly higher than that (66.7%) of PET-CT, and the accuracy (92.9%) of DWI was not significantly higher than that (82.1%) of PET-CT. For multiple hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes (MHMLN) with FDG accumulation, specificity and accuracy of DWI were significantly higher than those of PET-CT. Evaluation by DWI for patients with MHMLN with FDG accumulation was useful for distinguishing benignity and malignancy.
